XI. Capital, $500,000 PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1907. NEWS OF THE WEEK HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Event of the Past Week. The French cabinet proposes an income tax to relieve the poor. The price of all grade of diamonds has been advanced 5 per cent. Rebels are reported to have defeated government forces in Argentina. Egyptian explorers have found the mummy of the famous Queen Teie. Rain is increasing the discomforts of the Kingston earthquake sufferers. There is not a wheel turning on any railroad between Spokane and the coast. Alton B. Parker believes the president right in his stand in the Brownsville affair. Troops have been called to stop rioting among Japanese miners in Japan. Many have been killed. The project to connect Lake Washington and Puget sound with a canal has been revived in congress. John D. Rockefeller has given $32,000,000 of first-class securities for general education throughout the United States. More than 5,000 bushel of seed wheat has been donated by Oregon growers to be used in the famine district of China. The temperature is 5 below zero at Kansas City. The Thaw trial is now fairly begun. Insanity is the plea of the defense. New Jersey Republicans have nominated Frank O. Briggs as United States senator. Many reports are being received of people being frozen to death in North Dakota. Snow and slides have blocked all trains on the Northern Pacific so that no Eastern mail can reach Tacoma. The raise granted postal clerks will add $68,000 to the salaries of those in Oregon and $100,000 to thisoe of Washington. The O. R. & N. between Portland and the Dalles is in worse shape than for years. Several work trains are hemed in on both sides. During the January just passed twice as much excavation was done on the Panama canal as in any January when the work was under French control. Southern Pacific trains, while still running, are all behind time and have to proceed carefully on account of soft tracks and uncertain bridges and embankments. Besides fighting for territory in the Northwest, the Harriman and Hill managements have entered into a wary war regarding the merits of the methods employed by each, which does not appear to furnish more cars to the shipper than the territory fight.

Celef Engineer Stevens Wants to Dig Panama Canal. Washington, Feb. 8.—Chief Engineer John F. Stevens wants to dig the Panama canal, and if he cannot dig the big ditch without the medium of a contractor, there is likely to be another vacancy at the head of affairs on the isthmus. This is understood to be the secret of the mysterious holding up of the award of the Panama canal contract that has excited interest and curiosity for the last two weeks. Everybody has been wondering why the administration has been delaying action on the Olliver bid for digging the canal. One theory has been that it was due to a fight between rival financial interests, those represented by the contractors underbid by the Olliver firm being credited with the efforts to throw out the lower bidder and take the prize. There have been tangles regarding Mr. Olliver's partners. Finally a positive decision from President Roosevelt, Secretary of War Taft and Chairman Shonts, of the Canal commission, has been postponed for two weeks longer, ostensibly to complete a full examination of the Olliver bid, but in reality, it is believed, to solve the problem presented by Mr. Stevens' position. OPPOSED TO DISCRIMINATION. Los Angeles Chamber on Separate Schools for Japanese. Washington, Feb. 8. — The president today received a telegraphic copy of a resolution adopted yesterday by the Los Angeles chamber of commerce upon the Japanese school question, which expresses the belief that the public sentiment of California, especially of the southern part, upon the question of the exclusion of the Japanese from the general public school system of the state has been to some extent misrepresented and is largely misunderstood. The sentiment is expressed that on the main question, whatever may be the diversity of opinion upon the constitutional and legal phases, the board is assured that "the general trend of public opinion in Southern California is decidedly adverse to any discrimination against the Japanese as a people in the matter of public school privileges, and the belief that this opinion is based upon consideration of equity and justice is held altogether independent of any attribute which the Japanese government has assumed or may assume in regard to the question." CALLS BOOKER SENATOR. Foraker Takes a Fling at Activity of Negro Leader. Washington, Feb. 8.—Five witnesses were examined today in the Brownsville inquiry by the Senate committee on military. All were members of the discharged battalion of negro soldiers except ex-Sergeant Luther Thornton, of company B. He testified that, when aroused by the firing on the night of August 13, he was under the impression that the barracks were being fired upon by the people of the town. The next witness called for by Senator Foraker was Winter Washington, and Senator Overman asked if he had said Booker Washington. "No," said Mr. Foraker, "Booker Washington is too busy attending to his senatorial duties to come here." He referred to the interest of Booker T. Washington in the question of having a negro appointed to a Federal position in Ohio, patronage which has been regarded as belonging to the senators from Ohio. Washington's idea of the Brownsville affair was that "Mexican Greasers" and "Texas cowboys" had done the shooting in order to make trouble for the negro soldiers. Mausers Smuggled as Books. Victoria, B. C., Feb. 8.—Mail advices from Shanghai state that, owing to an accident at the wharf there, the discovery has been made that arms and ammunition have been smuggled through Shanghai to the disaffected districts where rebellion is in progress. A Chinese newspaper reports that 50,000 Mauser rifles and 5,000,000 rounds of ammunition have been imported into China from Japan by the revolutionary party. Dr. Sun Yat, who is one of the prime movers of the rebellion, is at Tokio, as head of the rebel junta there. More Money for Pacific Lights. Washington, Feb. 8.—The senate's commerce committee reported the house omnibus lighthouse bill with amendments added giving $20,000 for rebuilding the lighthouse at Cape Arago and $120,000 for a lighthouse vessel at Oxford Reefs. Right of Way Across Fort Columbia. Washington, Feb. 8.—The senate today passed Senator Fulton's bill authorizing the Iwaco railroad to build across the Fort Columbia reservation and quarantine station grounds on its way from Iwaco to Knappton. Earthquakes Change Island. Montevideo, Feb. 8. 8. A report has reached here by passengers on the steamer Elka that earthquakes have hanged the appearance of New Year's island and that a portion of the island has sunk several meters. AMEND TIMBER LAW Sale of Timber and Retention of Land Recommended. PROVISION MADE FOR COUNTIES Washington, Feb. 7. — The senate committee on public lands today favorably reported a bill repealing the timber and stone act and providing that in the future the government shall retain title to its timber lands and sell only the timber at not less than its appraised value. The committee incorporated Senator Fulton's amendment requiring that 25 per cent of the money derived from the sales of public timber shall be paid to the counties in which the sales are made. Mr. Fulton served notice on the committee that some time ago he would oppose the repeal of the timber and stone act unless one-fourth of the receipts from timber sales should be paid to the counties for school and road purposes, and it was in compliance with this demand that the bill was so amended. The counties will not only receive 25 per cent of the receipts from timber sales on unreserved timberland, but from sales within forest reserves as well. This concession to the counties is made to reimburse them for taxes which they might ultimately collect should this timber land pass into private ownership. Under the amended bill title to all timber land remains in the government, hence the land itself cannot be taxed. This amendment, however, does not exempt lumber companies and other purchasers of timber from payment of taxes on their product. As the bill now stands the secretary of agriculture will appraise government timber and sell it at public auction or private sale to the highest bidder for not less than the appraised value, preference being given to bidders for small quantities for use in the immediate vicinity of the land. Persons actually residing near timberland shall be entitled to take free of charge not exceeding 100,000 feet board. measure in any one year for individual use, but not for sale. The bulk of the money derived from timber sales after deducting 25 per cent for the counties, will go into the reclamation fund, the residue going into the forest reserve fund to defray the expenses of forest management and control. It is provided that timberland reserved from entry for timer shall be subject to location and entry under mining or coal laws, and that land chiefly valuable for building or commercial stone shall be entered under the placer mining laws. BILL FOR COAL LAND LEASING House Committee Agrees on Provisions to Prevent Sale. Washington, Feb. 7. — The house committee on public lands expects on Friday to report a bill providing for leasing all government coal lands. At its meeting today several features of the bill were agreed to, one permitting four persons to form an a society and take collectively 2,500 acres of coal land. Another guards against persons acquiring coal lands under homestead or other laws by prohibiting the patient of coal deposits on such lands within 25 years after the original entry is patented. Thus, if a person should fraudulently homestead land which he knew contained coal, he could not develop that coal for 25 years. In the senate public lands committee today Senator Newlands presented a bill requiring three years' residence on a homestead before the entryman can commute, but this was voted down. At present 14 months' residence is all that is required. The president favors Mr. Newlands' idea. Congress Has no Power Washington, Feb. 7. — Chairman Jenkins, of the house committee on judiciary, submitted a report today in which it is stated emphatically that the committee is of the opinion that congress has no jurisdiction or authority over the question of woman and child labor, and has no right to suppress any abuses of such labor or ameliorate conditions surrounding the employment of such laborers. The committee holds that the regulation of woman and child labor is within the police power of the various states. Two More Circuit Judges. Washington, Feb. 7. 7 The senate today passed the bill authorizing the appointment of two additional circuit judges for the Ninth circuit, and one additional district judge for the Northern Judicial district of California. NO. 42. RAISE ALL RATES. General Advance in Freight Inaugurated by Eastern Lines. Chicago, Feb. 6.—The first step was taken here today in a plan to inaugurate a general increase in freight rates throughout the country in such a manner as to bring millions of dollars added revenue to the railroads and at the same time greatly facilitate the movement of traffic. As the result of a meeting, which was attended by executive officials of railroads east of Chicago, and having a total of more than 100,000 miles of lines, a vote is being taken upon a proposition to increase the rates of nearly all of the main commodities fully 10 per cent by decreasing the minimum which it is permitted to load into a freight car. The railroads interested in the initial movement extend through all the territory east of Chicago and north of the Ohio river, clear to the seaboard and north into Canada. In this territory freight rates are controlled by the association known as the Central Freight association. The action will undoubtedly be followed by the lines south of the Ohio river, and then by the lines west of Chicago to the Pacific coast. It is difficult to estimate how much the proposed increase will bring the railroads in added revenue, but the sum will be a big one. Traffic officers, however, state that it will not be sufficient to offset even the increased expense to the railroads occasioned by increased wages, estimated at between $100,000,000 and $110,000,000 annually. DISAGREE ON FAIR BILL. Washington Senators and Representatives at Cross Purposes Washington, Feb. 6.—On Thursday the senate committee on expositions will meet in the room of Senator Ankeny to consider and probably report the Ankeny bill making an appropriation for the Alaska, Philippine and Hawaiian exhibits at the Seattle exposition in 1909. If the bill is reported its passage by the senate is certain to follow. The house members of the Washington delegation disapprove of the course of the senators and have urged that no action be taken on the bill this session. While it can pass the senate, it is absolutely certain that it cannot get through the house this session, for the chairman of the house committee is not only opposed to this exposition appropriation, but has said he will not call his committee together to consider the bill. Moreover, having appropriated liberally for Jamestown, the house leaders will not consider the senate bill this winter. In view of this situation the house members charge that the senators are placing them in an embarrassing position by pressing the bill at this time, but their protests are falling on deaf ears. HEYBURN PUSHES THE ISSUE. Moves Resolution and Amendments Dealing With Land Question. Washington, Feb. 6. — Senator Heyburn yesterday introduced a resolution compelling the secretary of the interior to disregard the order of the president and issue patents on all land and mineral applications where the proofs submitted show full compliance with the requirements of law, and where no protest has been filed against the granting of such patents. The senator expressed the opinion that by the adoption of this resolution a large percentage of the land business of the country will be resumed, being now tied up. Mr. Heyburn also introduced an amendment to the sundry civil bill providing for the completion of the survey of public land in Idaho to be made by a rectangular system of survey, without waiting for the requests or demands of settlers, and appropriating $200,000 for making the surveys. He also proposed an amendment to the agricultural bill providing that none of sections 16 or 36 shall be included in any forest reserve where such sections were granted to the states by the act of admission to the Union, or the enabling act, and that land more valuable for grazing than for timber shall not be included within the forest reserves. No Excitement in Japan. Tokio, Feb. 6.—The view taken here of the American-Japanese situation, arising from the San Francisco school incident, is illustrated by the following official statement, which was issued today: "Since the talk of war was first transmitted from America we have carefully watched the development of feeling here. There has not been the slightest excitement anywhere in the country. The talk of war is completely ignored here, and implicit confidence is reposed in President Roosevelt and his government." Snow Smothers New York. New York, Feb. 6. — For more than 24 hours New York has been in the grip of a fierce northeast snow storm. Ten inches of snow fell in the 24 hours ending at 8 a. m., equaling the amount that has fallen within any similar period for several years. TOPICS OF THE TIMES Deformed spelling, sure enough. King Leopold's press agent seems to have a harder job than even Mr. Rockefeller's. The new British ambassador to this country was born in Ireland. The Irish will not be kept down. "Why," asks the Baltimore Sun, "should grafters seek office?" Why should ducks enter the water? Most of the Russian riots occur on some anniversary. It might help some if the Czar were to abolish anniversaries. "Russia would like to help the United States check Japanese aggressions." How much money does Russia want to borrow? A London physician says that ministers live too long. This is variety. Most fault-finders only say the ministers preach too long. Perhaps that man who stole two pounds of Limburger cheese from a Montreal grocer simply found the temptation too strong to resist. A Frenchman has invented a phonograph that can be heard for a mile. Mothers use it to call for Willie to come home and split an armful of kindling. It will be several weeks, anyway, before the United States and Japan go to war over a question that could easily be settled by a well-organized country debating society. Count Bonl as a Paris newspaper writer, at a salary of $100 per, may not save much money, but he will have a glorious chance to get even with the flippant journalists of America. The country has grown too fast and too great for its transportation facilities—Boston Globe. How can we reconcile this assertion with the claim that the railroads develop the country? Judging from the noise he isn't making it is only fair to infer that Winston Churchill is busy on a new book which may be brought out about the time another campaign is started in New Hampshire. The London Times is endeavoring to establish itself on a twentieth century basis, but it has not as yet begun to offer prizes for the best definition of love or the most lucid solution of the problem of Ann's age. It is announced that Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller consider themselves too poor to have oysters served at their table. Let us not, however, permit ourselves to be distressed at their poverty. They can probably afford to have a soup bone at least once a day. Emperor William is reported to have become an enthusiastic golfer. Now for the first time in his life he will have a chance to show that he is really great. If he can play eighteen holes without losing his temper it will have to be admitted that Germany has a wonderful ruler. Some of the men who are named as probable successors of King Leopold in the administration of affairs in the Congo country may not be very well qualified for the business of ruling people, but any change from the present condition of the inhabitants of the Congo district would necessarily be for the better. The establishment of parliamentary government in countries accustomed to autocracy is not easy. Russia is having trouble over the problem. In Persia the people are accusing the leaders of the reform movement of seeking selfish ends, and they have no confidence in the proceedings of their house of representatives. In Montenegro, where the first parliament was recently organized, the legislators voted lack of confidence in the government the other day, the cabinet resigned, and parliament adjourned. The attempts thus far made to disregard and nullify the immutable laws of nature have been laughable in their fantastic failure. Communistic and socialistic experiments, whether made by artificial societies or imposed by great nations upon a people, as was the case in Canada in "New France," have gone down in wreck and disaster. In the formal attempts to found societies on the equality plan a curious thing always happens in the end. It may be suggested by those who have not looked into them that the loafers and the workers do the work, according to their bent. Not at all; the loafers and the ambitious, who under our present crude system would be the workers, take to loafing too. "My most serious problem is how I can give my children the advantage of the poor man's." A popular magazine quotes a rich man as saying this. Most rich men in this country have themselves been sons of poor men. The old European laws of primogeniture and entail being inoperative with us, every man stands on his own feet and depends on his own head and hands for his fortune. Even the heir to wealth must use his own brains and energies to take care of it, or it soon slips away. And it is a fact, which the rich man quoted seems to have noticed, that not all, nor most, children of the rich have ability even to hold wealth dumped in their laps. A few children of rich men have notably made their inherited wealth a great blessing to themselves and mankind—but they are precious few. Call the roll of the men and women who have achieved the highest fortune or fame in this country, and an overwhelming majority will be found to have come up from the "lower walks" of life and to owe their development of character to struggle and self-denial. It is of these twin blessings in disguise that we gain strength, skill, sympathy, purpose. The child pampered in idenness and luxury knows little of these vital things, and when he meets in contest the uncouth but toughened boy from the farm or the side street, he has poor chance of holding his own. We are accustomed to think of the "advantages" of the children of the rich. But all the history of human life since the world began proves that the real "advantages" are on the other side. Early in October British soap manufacturers formed a combination like what we know in America as a trust. Six weeks later the members of the combination announced that "the working arrangement entered into by the leading soap makers of the United Kingdom has been received with such disfavor by the trade and the public as to make it unworkable, and it has been decided to terminate the arrangement." Newspapers, tradesmen and consumers had united to defeat the combination. One need not approve the methods of boycott resorted to by the retailers, or the favors shown by newspapers to "independent" soap makers in the matter of advertising, which contributed to make the allied firms dissolve their agreement. But it may be noted with satisfaction that the chief power against the trust was the public, and that the combination was undone not by legal or political measures, or by any ethical principle, but simply by the fact that popular opposition made it "unworkable." The people did not like the combination, and they made the manufacturers feel their strong disapproval of it. Wherever organized and artificial evil shows itself and is recognized in time, spontaneous opposition on the part of public opinion can often, if not always, break it up, although politics, law and mere ethics fail. Even where the consumer has not the weapon of competition, as in the case of railroad companies with unique franchises, the people can force attention to their just demands if they will. Cartoonists are still representing the common people as a sorry, wizened little man. In this country as in England, his arm and voice are mighty if he but use them. Fooled the Holdup Men. A west end man had an experience recently that made his hair stand on end and had it not been for his quick wit in devising a means of getting out of the difficulty it might have cost him dearly. He is the treasurer of a local lodge and was returning home from a meeting with a considerable amount of money in his possession, fortunately the greater part of which was in currency. He got off a car quite a distance out in the west end and turned off a side street toward his home, when he noticed that he was being followed by two suspicious looking men. Quick as a flash he pulled an envelope out of his pocket, addressed it to himself, stamped it, put the currency inside it and dropped it in the mail box. Then he started on a brisk walk. Suddenly there came a command from behind him. Up went his hands and the robbers went through his pockets. He smiled grimly as the holdups secured only a few dollars in silver and he thought with pleasure of the money he had put in the mail box in Uncle Sam's care. The robbers went away complaining of the small amount they secured and the treasurer went home. Next day the letter containing the money was delivered safely to his office.—Duluth News-Tribune. Accounting for the Pearl. Three principal hypotheses have been offered to account for the origin of pearls. According to one they arise from secretions caused by the presence of some foreign object, such as a grain of sand, within the shell of the oyster. But it has been shown that fine pearls are not thus produced. Another theory is that pearls are the result of disease in the oyster. The third hypothesis, sustained by M. Seurat of the Oceanographic museum of Monaco, is that the origin of pearls is to be ascribed to the presence of a parasite. The species of parasite differs with the species of oyster, but this mode of origin, M. Seurat believes, is general with all fine pearls. To restore the luster of a "dead" pearl the outer tarnished envelope may be removed with acids. Thus the effect produced upon a tarnished pearl by causing a fowl to swallow it is accounted for by the dissolvent action of the gastric juice. Invented Cream Freezer. Only a short time agq the woman whose inventive brain gave the ice cream freezer to delighted humanity died at an advanced age in Philadelphia. This was Mrs. Nancy M. Johnson, and her device was patented in 1843. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Michigan T Company H. CRAW, Proprietor Phone East 2806 154 Grand Avenue Ericson Undertaking Co.

Our Candidate for President JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Of Ohio EDITORIAL The action of the council in refusing to allow the salary of a chief of police to an officer who is not in fact a chief seems to be quite justifiable. For over a year and a half there has been no actual, only an "acting," chief of police, a captain performing temporarily the duties of chief but not legally responsible as such, not being required to file any bond for the faithful and lawful performance of his duties, as the law requires a chief to do. To this state of affairs the council objects, and declines to make an appropriation for more than a captain's salary for the acting chief, and to get a chief's salary he will have to apply to the courts. It is not a question of whether Captain Gritzmacher has made a good acting chief or not; he is considered dependable, though nobody ever accused him of brilliancy; but of his right to draw a chief's salary when he is not so in fact. In the case of Inspector Bruin, it has been decided by the court that his appointment was illegal, and that ought to be sufficient to insure his removal, at least temporarily, until he qualified himself, if he can, for the position he holds. His office is one created by the mayor, who has kept him in it, though the public is not aware of any very valuable services that he has performed to earn his salary. The mayor arbitrarily removed a bunch of detectives because they were worthless, but it might puzzle him to find anything much better in the record of his inspector. Firmness within reasonable bounds is certainly a very good quality in a mayor, but obstinacy is not, and the mayor seems to be possessed of an unfortunate amount of obstinacy, of tenacity of opinion and course of action, whether he is right or wrong. That he should sometimes disagree with the council was to be expected, and in some cases he may have been in the right, but in others he was not. A while ago he lectured the council very severely and repeatedly for vacating two or three pieces of unused street, for the benefit of industries that are building up the city, and one would have supposed that the council had been giving away streets by the wholesale to anybody who asked, but it turned out that the mayor had himself approved most of these measures, and that there was no reasonable ground for opposing the others. He seemed simply to want to muck-rake the council, perhaps with a view of strengthening himself for re-election next summer, but if so, it is to be doubted if this object was accomplished. Half the councilmen will go out of office next summer, and the mayor with them, and it will be to the interest of the city to elect not only good men to the council but also a mayor who will work in harmony with them, and not be in a perpetual wrangle with them. And while politics should not be the main consideration in electing city officers, it will be advisable, since the council is sure to be Republican in politics, to elect a mayor of the same party, not merely to show that this is a Republican city, but so that the mayor and council can co-operate better for its welfare. NEEDED THE MONEY. Brother Paul Rader, who has been going to and fro in the state working the anti-saloon racket, has been accused of collecting and spending a lot of the league's money, or involv- ing it in debt, and indulging in various imitations of Annanias, but some of the brethren are inclined to stand by him and find him guiltless, and if he appears so to the Anti-Saloon League, it is not, much of anybody else's business—unless of those who entrusted him with cash. Some of his performances are however, of a little public interest, especially that one wherein he worked Mr. Jonathan Bourne now United States senator, for $500 with which to influence temperance votes in the primaries last spring. And it is not at all certain that Brother Rader, whatever he did for the antisaloon cause, did not fully earn the money he got from Bourne. It will be remembered that Bourne received the nomination by only a slight margin, and if Mr. Rader's circular letters to temperance people, urging them to vote for Bourne, as a friend, champion and exemplar of temperance, really influenced any considerable number of votes in Bourne's favor, why, he owes his nomination and election to nobody so much as to Rev. Paul Rader, and that $500 was the best campaign investment he made. It does not follow that Brother Rader actually spent any of the money in Bourne's behalf, for apparently all he did was to send out these circular letters, which, including stamps, probably cost him nothing; but it seems he sent them out signed by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, and consequently they were likely to have had considerable effect. And it is presumed that Brother Rader also spoke a good word for Bourne whenever he could on his travels in behalf of the league. We do not see that anybody was harmed in particular by the transaction—not speaking of the people of the state as a whole—and that Brother Rader is not to be very severely condemned for thus picking up $500 easy money, especially when at the same time he could help elect to the senate so thorough an anti-saloon man as Mr. Bourne. As to other financial transactions, it must be remembered that a man traveling about all the time and living well needs quite a lot of money, and as Brother Rader was enthusiastically engrossed in the good work he should have been liberally supplied and could not be blamed for incurring a few debts. It is charged that his report of an assault at Salem was a fake, but this is a harsh judgment, even if it did not occur; he is a man of tremendous intellect, and as he was walking along he may have been struck with a pointed and edged idea so hard that he thought several thugs were upon him. So we are inclined to think that Brother Rader should be exonerated and vindicated, and sent on his reforming career rejoicing and with an ample supply of cash. AN ERRONEOUS VIEW. Why do not the people who, because negroes occasionally commit crimes, feel like lynching and exterminating them stop to think how really few crimes, in proportion to population, conditions and all circumstances, negroes of the country really commit? Instead of accusing, abusing and anathematizing the whole race on account of the crimes of a few, why not look at the other side and consider how many, what a vast majority, are not heard of in this way, but go on through life pursuing a peaceable, quiet and commendable way, injuring nobody and benefiting some? Do these people ever stop to think that there are some 9,000,000 colored people in this country, about one-ninth of the total population, and that only 42 years ago they emerged from slavery, untaught, untrained in self-reliance or self-restraint, or in self-support, ignorant, and almost helpless? Considering these things, would it be strange if negroes were more inclined to commit offenses against the law than whites? And yet it does not appear that they are. It has been repeatedly shown that accusations against negroes of assaults on women in the South were false or unproved, and aside from these cases wherein do the negroes show up as being more criminal than white people? Accounts of their crimes are noticed more, and as a rule given more prominence in the papers, but we are not aware that the record is so black against them as some people seem to suppose. A fair-minded, broad-viewed man will concede that under all the circumstances the colored people have in these 42 years done remarkably well, and will be encouraged by the progress they have made, and ready with friendly feeling for their further enlightenment and advancement as citizens of the great free republic. enough more for the purpose, preferable to the original bill. unlikely that the $400,000 pro- for would have been nearly en- and the state might have had a propriate as much more before- ting the locks, which would be gether too much for the bene- be derived, which are, after all likely to be nearly as much as he resented by some newspapers. But what the state and go- "POWER OFF." Perhaps the high water had something to do with the power for the street cars being "off" more than usual this week, but if it had not been high water it would have been something else. Any little old thing will stop the cars, or delay them so that people cannot travel as they wish. Early Wednesday evening, for instance, many ladies were waiting alone Morrison street for a long time, but no cars came, and finally they walked home or went down to Washington street, where just at that time the service was not quite so completely knocked out. But on either street, or on any other, high water or low water, nobody is sure about being able to get down town in the morning, or home in the evening, by means of a car. And if he can, the chances are that he will do so only after delays that would render walking a rapid mode of travel by comparison. What the company ought to do is to have a large number of men traveling along the principal streets and by-crossings advising people waiting as to what time, within an hour or so, a car might be expected along—but, of course, the company can't afford to hire anybody to do this, for it can't afford to hire enough men to do the work absolutely necessary to be done, or pay decent wages to those it does hire. The legislature is being urged to revoke the franchise of the gas company on the ground that it has not treated the people fairly, and if this be a sufficient reason the franchise of the railway company ought to be revoked too, or some means taken to compel it to give the people decent service. SHOULD BE CAREFUL. Oregon cannot afford at this time to enact any drastic anti-railroad legislation. The railroads are doing a good deal just now, and that without any threat or compulsion, to develop Oregon, and if let alone will do a great deal more. They are building into Wallowa valley, over to Coos Bay, to Tillamook, and will build extensively in other parts of Oregon, and, of course, in their own interests will supply all the necessary equipment possible, and as fast as possible. It is very foolish under such circumstances to pass a law that will discourage the railroad builders and investors, and very likely will prevent them from going ahead with contemplated enterprises. Except for the car shortage, which the roads will remedy on their own motion as soon as possible, the people of Oregon have but little complaint to make. A few cases of freight overcharges, if they exist, are but a very slight evil compared with that which the railroad owners could inflict upon the state if they are burdened and harassed unreasonably with hostile legislation. To antagonize the railroads now would be a great calamity to Oregon, and the legislature ought therefore to be very careful of the measures it enacts. We do not mean that the railroads should not be subject to any control or supervision whatever, or that the people should take no measures to remedy any grievous abuses, but in going too far and making laws that will prove disastrous to the railroads, the disaster will inevitably react on the state itself, which needs above almost anything else to encourage railroad building as the chief means of developing the state. THE WILLAMETTE LOCKS. The substitute for the Jones bill to appropriate $400,000 to buy the locks at Oregon City or construct new ones, by which it is proposed to raise $300,000 providing congress will appropriate as much more, or enough more for the purpose, is far preferable to the original bill. It is unlikely that the $400,000 provided for would have been nearly enough, and the state might have had to appropriate as much more before getting the locks, which would be altogether too much for the benefits to be derived, which are, after all, not likely to be nearly as much as is represented by some newspapers. But what the state and government, if they can undertake the job by a joint appropriation, ought to do, is to calculate on digging new locks on the east side of the river, for there is no likelihood that the General Electric company will sell its locks for anything like their real value unless it knows that otherwise new locks will be built, and it will take some chances that they will not be built. It sets its price at $1,200,000, which is probably about three times what ought to be paid. If under condemnation proceedings the locks can be had for half a million or less, it might pay to buy them, but the electric company will try to get double their value, at least, and so new and competing locks would be best, and then let the electric company keep its locks and get what it could out of them. It would serve the company just right to render the locks comparatively valueless to them for its exactions of these many years, and its hoggishness in asking three prices for the property. R. A. Preston, whom the voters of the First ward honored with an election to the city council two years ago, will not, we understand, be a candidate for re-election this spring. Mr. Preston has probably had his ear to the ground and heard things that were not encouraging to his future political aspirations. The voters of the First ward should get together and induce some one of the numerous old and popular residents to stand as a candidate for the primary nomination on the Republican ticket. At any rate, they want no more of Preston. Supt. Gardner, of the Boys and Girls' Aid society, has been down to Salem, presumably in the interest of an appropriation for his institution. Mr. Gardner secured some $8,000 from the session of 1905 to make certain improvements and extensions. The people would like to know whether these improvements have been made or not, and if not what has become of this money. Councilman H. A. Belding, the popular representative in the city council from the Sixth ward, has the reputation of being one of the most vigilant members of that body. Mr. Belding has made a splendid councilman and the people appreciate his efforts to serve them well and faithfully. Who is the Republican that is going to beat Mayor Lane—for there isn't any doubt he'll run again? The Bailey proposed amendment to the primary election law is sensible and reasonable. Better be moderate with that railroad legislation, gentlemen. It might be a bomerang. Senator Fulton cannot afford to defeat District Attorney Bristol. OUR CHICAGO LETTER (Special to Portland New Age.) Lawyer E. H. Morris has returned from Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. McDowell, a prominent physician of St. Louis, has located in Chicago. The National Defense League of the United States will meet at Ann Arbor, Mich., July 5, 1907. Mr. George W. Murrey, former member of congress of South Carolina, has permanently located in Chicago. Miss Blanche Wright, public stenographer and court reporter, is now to be found at her office, 171 Washington street, room 708. And the National Conference of Colored Men has been called by several colored men in Chicago to meet at Ann Arbor, Mich., July 6, 1907. There is a movement on foot in this city to urge Rev. Jesse Woods, pastor of the St. John's A. M. E. church, to be a candidate for bishop at the next general conference. The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the state of Illinois met last week and elected officers. The names of the officers will be given in the next issue of the paper. The National Federation of Friendly Society among the colored people in the United States held a special meeting here last week, and the next meeting will be held July 8, 1907, at Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Julius F. Taylor, editor of the Chicago Broad Ax, secured a judgment of $18,000 in the circuit court of this county against Mr. Poney Moore on the charge of false imprisonment. Mrs. Walter M. Farmer addressed the evening service of Bethesda Baptist church at their sacred concert last Sunday evening on "Idealism." The subject was well handled by Mrs. Farmer, and she has proven her reputation of being a brilliant woman and speaker. Chicago Lodge of A. F. & A. Masons meets in regular meeting on the second Monday evening of each month at Sixteenth and State streets, Mr. S. Clay is the worshipful master. Brother Clay is a brilliant Mason and one of the grand officers of the St. John's Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. Masons of Illinois. Chicago, Ill., Jan. 28.—The Mount Zion Baptist church at 1437 State street is doing a splendid work. The Rev. S. W. Whalen, the pastor, is to be congratulated upon the excellent work which he is accomplishing for the benefit and advancement of his race. He is ably assisted along those lines by Mrs. Mollie Hart and several other prominent members of the church. Mrs. Mollie Hart is a great worker in church work. Relative to the Order of Elks among colored men in the United States, that so much has been said of late in reference to them being clandestine and having no legitimate origin, your correspondent wishes to state that he is not in any sense whatever prejudiced for or against any society, but wishes to state the facts as he knows them and finds them. One faction of the spurious order of Elks is led by Mr. Howard, of Kentucky, and last year a number of the members of his faction were taken out of the order and they met at New York City and organized a body of their own, of which I believe Mr. Watking is at the head. So it will be seen that neither one of them have any legitimate origin whatever, and if any person has any doubts about it, these statements be verified beyond any possible doubt or excuse, because your correspondent was right in Cincinnati when Mr. Rigg found the ritual of the Order of Elks, and soon afterward conferred the degrees upon some other colored men and that is the way the Order of Elks among the colored men started in this country, which stamps them as being illegitimate and self-constituted.

Mrs. Lizzie Frazler, of 4471 Everett street, is indisposed. Mrs. Palmer, of Park and Everett streets, is slowly convalescing. Harry Hooper, one of the pioneer railroad men, is suffering from an attack of la gripe. When you need groceries go to J. B. Simmons, 463 Glisan street, who will treat you right. Mr. Wm.

Duncan, one of our popular railroad employees, is confined to the house with a threatened attack of pneumonia. Do not forget the young people's meeting at the A. M. E. Zion church each Sunday evening at 7 o'clock, under the leadership of Mrs. Lulu Easton. Mr. W. M. Gale, one of the prosperous and influential citizens of Rainler, Ore., is the guest of his long-time friend, Mr. Dave Thornton, of this city. Mr. W. W. Wheeler, head waiter of the Hotel Portland, accompanied by his wife, is spending a short vacation in visiting various parts of our sister state. Mr. T. B. Hall has resigned his position in the boot polishing parors of the Hotel Portland, and has been succeeded by Mr. G. N. White, who formerly held the same. Go to J. B. Simmons, 463 Glisan street, for choice groceries, cigars and confectioneries. Everybody treated alike, regardless of the amount of the purchase. For first-class meals and old-fashioned home cooking call at Mrs. Smith's, on Ankney street, between Third and Fourth streets, where you will get the best in the city for your money. Mrs. Corrine Barber will soon leave for Denver, Col., for the benefit of her health, having been ordered by her physician to live in a higher altitude on account of pulmonary troubles. An apron social will be given at the A. M. E. Zion church, Thirteenth and Main street, on Feb. 28 and March 1, under the direction of the following committee: Mesdames K. Gray, L. Easton and D. M.

After an illness of several weeks Mrs. Belle Craig died the first of this week. The disposition of the remains await advices from her husband, who is in Colorado, he having been communicated with by Julius Severe, who is her brother-in-law. As the result of trying to protect a couple of women of his race from insult by a number of drunken white rowdies, Samuel S. Phillips was shot and killed by Wm. Jones in San Francisco, Cal. Mr. Phillips was well known to our citizens, having resided here for a number of years. The management of the Hill house, one of the most exclusive boarding houses of the Northwest, decided to make a change in the culinary department and have discharged the white cooks and installed a colored crew. Mr. Pendleton Smith, for a number of years chief cook on one of the private cars, is in command, ably seconded by Heywood Massy. We learn that there are in the neighborhood of 30 vacancies in the police department, with no applicants for the same. If this state of affairs should continue, it might be possible that some one of our Afro-American citizens might be acceptable to the powers that be, under the present administration, as their policy seems to be that no job shall go to a negro that a white man can be induced to accept. Miss Mamie Lee, the waitress of the Vestibule cafe who was so badly cut about the face and neck, has so far recovered from her hospital to be able to leave the hospital and return to her home. As yet the police have not been able to positively fix the identity of her assailant and it bids fair to take its place with the numerous unsolved crimes that have baffled the police and detectives of our city. EAST SIDE BOOMING. Mall & Von Borstel, the reliable and progressive real estate agents, with offices at 104 Second street and 392 East Burnside street, report business very good in their particular line. They have made a number of important deals during the past month and state that there are sev- eral big ones pending. While the firm handles real estate in all parts of the city, they, however, make a specialty of East Side property. Their faith in this particular section of the city is justified, as shown by the remarkable growth and development seen on every hand. The East Side looks good and the spring will see a great upward movement in reality values there. WILL G. STEEL COMMENDS FORAKER. Portland, Ore., Dec. 28, 1906. Hon. J. B. Foraker, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir:—Your noble actions in defense of the colored soldiers so outrageously treated by the President, are such as to appeal strongly to my sense of justice, and I cannot forbear expressing to you my deep appreciation. I was born in Monroe county, O. hlo, where, for thirty years preceding the Rebellion my father, William Steel, managed the Underground railroad, and it always remained the most cherished recollection of his life, that no slave ever fell into his hands and was afterward recaptured. There was born in me an untiring hatred of tyranny and injustice, whether at the hands of the President of the United States or of an obscure citizen. Formerly I was an intense admirer of Mr. Roosevelt, but the old halo has gradually melted away, leaving on his pedestal of glory a shrewd politician, who, like a spoiled child, insists on having his own way, regardless of consequences. He is a keen judge of the public mind, and every act is planned to satisfy it. There is but one thing on earth he prizes more than the plaudits of the multitude, and that is his own sweet will when crossed. Under such conditions he will defy the Lord God Almighty, and set himself up as the only genuine Supreme Being. Strange as it may seem, there are thousands of men in this enlightened age and country, who prefer him to the original, and it matters not what he does, will shout his glory to the echo. By his heartless appeal to ignorant hatred, it will soon be apparent that he has fanned into flame a smouldering race war, that will mean the sacrifice of many innocent lives.

It is a cone of cast iron plates, surmounted by an arrangement of prisms and a mirror which reflect the light from the lighthouse on Lewis Island, 500 feet distant across the channel. At a recent conference held at the ministry of commerce, St. Petersburg, it was decided that agricultural machinery required by peasant emigrants to Siberia and other portions of the Russian empire would have to be ordered abroad this year, as the Russian factories would be unable tq deliver. in time. Next year an attempt will be made to introduce Russian machinery among the settlers. An instance illustrating the exact methods now followed in all branches of science is furnished by the recent upsetting of all the results of the Geodetic Survey of Algeria based upon the station of Voilol, which had been chosen as the point of origin of co-ordinates. It has been found that, owing to some subterranean peculiarity affecting the direction of the plumb-line, there is a strong deviation from the vertical at Voilol, and as a result, a new starting-point for the triangulation must be chosen and new calculations made. The discovery was made by comparing the astronomical latitude of the new observatory about three miles from Voilol with its geodetic latitude as calculated from the Voilol data. "Welwitschla Mirabilis," a plant which is described as one of the wonders of the vegetable kingdom, illustrates the adaptations which sometimes render life possible amid conditions that seed to forbid its existence. The plant gets its name from its discoverer, Welwitsch, who found it in the sandy deserts of Southwestern Africa. Its short conical trunk is buried in sand, and its only leaves are the two cotyledons, or seed-leaves, which persist during the life of the plant, and in old specimens attain a length of from six to nine feet. The trunk measures three or four feet in diameter at the crown. The plant derives water for its growth partly from the dense night fogs, but principally through a very long root which taps subterranean water-sources. The terrible earthquake in Chile, following so soon after that in California, enormously increased popular interest in the science of seismology. Among the interesting facts brought into prominence by the many discussions to which these disasters have led in the scientific journals, is the clear distinction that seems to exist between earthquakes like those that destroyed San Francisco and Valparaiso and the shocks that damaged Charleston in 1886. The Charleston disaster is thought, at least by some geologists, to have been due to overloading of the earth's crust by accumulation of deposits on the ocean floor near the coast. The New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-12 were ascribed to a similar cause, resulting from depositites made by the Mississippi River. But the Californian and South American earthquakes are believed to have been due to the mountain-building forces which are still in operation along the western edge of North and South America. Story of Moses Is Retold. The social settlement worker had been telling the story of Moses to a class of small children in a mission school. "Now, children," she said, "you shall tell me the story. Who found the baby lying in the river?" "A beautiful lady," came the prompt reply. "To whom did the princess give little Moses to be taken care of?" "His mother," shouted the delightful class. "What did Moses' mother do with him when he grew a little older?" asked the teacher. For an instant there was silence. Then a small girl was seized with a sudden inspiration and replied: "I know. She put him into pants."—Harper's Magazine. First Word n Knock James I. of England, and VI., of Scotland, was as every one knows, deficient in vigor and steadiness. Having heard of a famous preacher who was very witter in his sermons and peculiarly so in his choice of texts he ordered his clergyman to preach before him. With all suitable gravity the learned divine gave out his text in the following words: "James first and sixth, in the latter part of the verse, 'He that waverth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.'" "Ods-chickens! he's at me already," exclaimed the king—Scrap book. The Jealous Wife. "I don't see why she isn't happy with him. He's certainly very attentive to her." "That's just it. She argues that he couldn't be so attentive to her if he hadn't a lot of experience with some one else."—Catholic Standard and Times. Employed on the Life-Saving Corps of Paris Police Force. of Paris Police Force. The training of the young Newfoundlands that are periodically added to the police staff is one of the sights of Paris. It takes place in the headquarters of the agents plongeurs, a small building on the quayside not far from the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Dogs and men enter into the exercise with zest and there is usually a crowd of onlookers. Only dummy figures are used, but the "rescue" is nevertheless a realistic affair. The big dogs know perfectly well what the exercise means and they wait with comic enthusiasm until the dummy is thrown into the water and an agent plongeur rushes out on hearing the splash and outcry of the spectators. While the men are busy with lines and life buoys the dog plunges into the water, swims to the dummy, watches with rare intelligence for an opportunity to get an advantageous hold and then it either swims ashore or waits for its master, who brings to the rescue long poles, cork belts and the like. The more experienced dogs, however, will easily effect a rescue from first to last without human assistance, and it is an inspiring sight to watch them looking for a foothold on the slippery sides of the river bank and pulling the heavy dummy into a place of safety. It takes about four months to train the dogs efficiently. They are also charged with the protection of their masters when attacked by the desperate ruffians who sleep under the arches of the bridge in summer. Thus in Paris the police dogs are a proved success. BUSINESS WAS HIS HABIT. Only a single cabbage remained of the wagon load of produce with which the huckster had started in. It was a good head, and the keen-witted huckster was alive to the chance of selling it, although the hour was late. As he glanced from side to side of the street, seeking a purchaser, says a writer in the New York Sun, he was hailed from a doorway by a housewife's cry: "Whoa, Bill!" said the vender to his horse; and to the prospective customer he called, "Only one cabbage left, missas!" "Is it a good one?" she asked, from the curb. "Sure; as good as any ever came from Jersey." "How much do you want for it?" "It's worth a dine, lady, but I want to sell out, so you can have it for a nickel." After pulling off some of the leaves to make sure the head was fresh and sound, the woman handed the huckster a nickel. The coin was transferred to his pocket, already well-filled, and the cabbage was placed in the woman's arms. As she turned to go, another woman who had come up during the bargaining said to the merchant: "Got any cabbage?" "Yes, ma'am; one head left." "How much is it?" "Ten cents." "Is it a good head?" "Finest kind of Long Island cabbage." The woman who had just bought the last head of cabbage was astonished by his calm assertion that he had one left when she knew the bottom of his cart was bare. She waited to see how he would satisfy the second woman. When the last comer said, "I'll take it," the huckster turned calmly to the owner of the cabbage, took it from her arms and handed it to the new customer. At the same time he took her dime from her fingers. As the first woman stood with mouth open, too astonished to protest, the second walked away. Then the woman deprived of her cabbage found voice to say, indignantly: "That was my cabbage! How——" "The huckster interrupted her with:" "Yes, ma'm, I know it. Here's the dime I got you for it. You're a nickel in." "But I didn't want to sell it." "Here's your dime," and as the woman, still dazed, took the dime, he said, "Git up. Bill."—Youth's Companion. Modern Terseness. Recently a city editor in Ottumwa, Iowa, was informed by phone at a late hour that a prominent citizen had died suddenly. Calling one of the reportorial staff, the city editor instructed him hurriedly, and the young man shot out of the office on double quick. Some twenty minutes later he returned, and as he hastened to the corner where his typewriter stood, the city editor asked him: "Well, what about it?" "Oh, nothing," said the young man, as he began making the keys rattle, "only as Mr. Blank was walking along the street, he says, 'I'm going to die,' and he leaned up against the fence and made good." Judge. Contradictory. "That photographer you recommended does indulge in some of the most nonsensical talk," said Peckham. "How so?" asked his friend. "Well, when he was taking my wife's picture the other day he said, 'Look pleasant, now. Be natural.'"—Philadelphia Press. The family tree of the grafter is a plum tree. Alfred J.

It took but little questioning to bring out In- formation on these points, and incl- dentally there was elicited other bag information, which, to Mr. Brown, was even more interesting. | Salt bags, it seems, are, In many households, when empty, wa#aed out and used as dish cloths, But the Brown family has given up housekeep- ing and gone to boarding; it retains its ‘apartment, just the same, but takes its meals in a neighboring good board- ing house, So naturaliy, they wouldn't be buying any more salt. _ Then Mrs. Brown said that, any- how, they hadn't been using salt bags for some time, because lately, while salt Is still put up In bags, they had been buying salt put up in wooden or in pasteboard boxes. They'd been making their dish cloths lately, she sald, out of sugar bags. Sugar, It appears, once never so put up, is now quite commonly sold in bags. Casually, Mrs, Brown mentioned an- other use of salt bags that was new even to Letitia, who knew something about salt bags. Mrs. Brown said that once they had a servant who used to take the salt bags when they were emptied and open them out and wash the marks out of them, and then for economy's sake have them for hand- kerehiefs for her little brother. And yet there remained the fact, mildly bewailed by Letitia, that there would be “no more salt bags” for dish cloths, Here Mr. Brown wanted to say to Letty, “Well, what of it? Not housekeeping any more, we shan't have any dishes to wash and we shan’t want any dish cloths, salt bag or sugar bag.” But he didn’t say these things, for he didn’t want to hurt Letitia’s feelings by showing her how little she looked ahead, nor did he want to make her feel worse by showing her how much more logical his mind, He sald nothing, but just kept these things to himself, but not without his usual mod- est ~ consciousness of — superiority.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. 5 —— te a nee? AS Wous Mr. Millais tells how rabbits swim —when compelled to: “They swim with the head held as high as possible, while the hocks of the hind legs appear above he element at each stroke. The shoul- ders and front part of the body are buried beneath the water, while the Tump and tail are bigh and dry.” Natural enemies of the auimal world are sometimes found living together in extraordinary communities. The same writer quotes this experience of an ob- server: “On one occasion when ferret- Ing I bolted a fox, a cat, a stoat and several rabbits and rats out of the same earth. The fox bolted first, after giving the ferret a nip across the back, from the effects of which it died an hour later, Next came the stoat and then the cat, both of which I shot. Then followed the rabbits and rats promis- cuously. It was a large burrow on the bank of a deep dry watercourse, and often held a fox when I ferreted it afterward.” Interesting figures on the relative agility of hares and rabbits are given in a recent volume by J. G. Millats. “When running at ease,” he says, “tha length of the hare’s stride is about four feet; but under conditions of fear its leaps extend to ten and twelve feet, while some authors claim that it can jump ten ditches twenty to twenty-five feet in width, Perpendicularly a hare can Jump on to a five-foot wall, but seems to be nouplused by one of about six feet. The stride of the rabbit is about two feet; when necessary it can make leaps of six or seven fet horl- zontally. About three feet is the high- est that a rabbit can attain to even when helped by the asperities of @ stone wall,” Immaterial. Aunt Hepsy was in ecstasies over the young lady her nephew, Ike, was going to marry. “I never saw her till last week,” she said, “but I fell in love with her at first sight myself. She's good, sweet, amiable and as pretty as a ple ture.” “What's her name?" asked the listen- ers, “Marla.” . | “aria what?” Aunt Hepay wrinkled her forehead, pursed up her lips, looked at the ceil- ing and gave it up, | “I declare, I can’t think of her other name.” | ‘The general laugh that followed this confession nettled Aunt Hepsy. “What's the difference about her last name anyway?” she said explosively. “It’s only temporary, She's going to change It!”—Youth’s Companion. ‘The Verdict. “Did the jury find the prisoner guilty?” inquired a man concerning a burglar. “No, sir,” responded the policeman, “They didn’t find him at all.

It was a dull morning in the police court, and the magistrate, a benedict of long standing, sat in his chair looking into space. A prisoner was brought before him and the policeman made a charge. "Intoxicated, eh?" muttered the court, absent-mindedly. "Yes, your honor," admitted the prisoner. "Are you married?" asked the magistrate. "No," was the reply. "Then what excuse do you have?" demanded the court, mechanically signing the commitment paper. A titter ran over the audience and the magistrate came to with a start, glancing apprehensively at the reporters. When court was adjourned, contrary to his usual custom, he called the newspaper men before him. "Do you find anything to write this morning?" he asked in a clearly apprehensive tone. "No," was the reply. The magistrate looked relieved. "That's good—that is—I—mean I thought there wasn't anything worth writing," he said.—New York Sun.

The wooden boards that had marked the graves in a certain rural cemetery rotted off, and were raked up in the spring cleaning; consequently, on Memorial day, when the delegation from the G. A. R. arrived with flags and appropriate floral decorations for their departed comrades, the decorating committee found itself somewhat in doubt as to which grave belonged to Captain Blodgett and which to Hannah Erleson. The mistaken delegates heaped their offerings upon Hannah's last resting-place, and departed. That afternoon Erleson, the widower, drifted, with the rest of his world, to the cemetery. When he saw the flag and the flowers above Hannah, the astonished Swede fell to chuckling joyously. "Vell," he explained, delightedly, "dose faller bane pooty smart, too! Ay tank dat vor all right and som gude yoke on Hannah—he vor pooty gude fighter herseluf." THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON Mr. Brown Learns Something About Their Household Uses Their Household Uses.

But the Brown family has given up housekeeping and gone to boarding; it retains its apartment, just the same, but takes its meals in a neighboring good boarding house. So naturally, they wouldn't be buying any more salt. Then Mrs. Brown said that, anyhow, they hadn't been using salt bags for some time, because lately, while salt is still put up in bags, they had been buying salt put up in wooden or in pasteboard boxes. They'd been making their dish cloths lately, she said, out of sugar bags. Sugar, it appears, once never so put up, is now quite commonly sold in bags. Casually, Mrs. Brown mentioned another use of salt bags that was new even to Letitia, who knew something about salt bags. Mrs. Brown said that once they had a servant who used to take the salt bags when they were emptied and open them out and wash the marks out of them, and then for economy's sake have them for handkerchiefs for her little brother. And yet there remained the fact, mildly bewailed by Lettia, that there would be "no more salt bags" for dish cloths. Here Mr. Brown wanted to say to Letty, "Well, what of it? Not housekeeping any more, we shan't have any dishes to wash and we shan't want any dish cloths, salt bag or sugar bag." But he didn't say these things, for he didn't want to hurt Lettia's feelings by showing her how little she looked ahead, nor did he want to make her feel worse by showing her how much more logical his mind. He said nothing, but just kept these things to himself, but not without his usual modest consciousness of superiority.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Natural History Mr. Millals tells how rabbits swim—when compelled to: "They swim with the head held as high as possible, while the hocks of the hind legs appear above he element at each stroke. The shoulders and front part of the body are buried beneath the water, while the rump and tail are high and dry." Natural enemies of the animal world are sometimes found living together in extraordinary communities. The same writer quotes this experience of an observer: "On one occasion when ferreting I bolted a fox, a cat, a stoat and several rabbits and rats out of the same earth. The fox bolted first, after giving the ferret a nip across the back, from the effects of which it died an hour later. Next came the stoat and then the cat, both of which I shot. Then followed the rabbits and rats promiscuously. It was a large burrow on the bank of a deep dry watercourse, and often held a fox when I ferreted it afterward." Interesting figures on the relative agility of hares and rabbits are given in a recent volume by J. G. Millals. "When running at ease," he says, "the length of the hare's stride is about four feet; but under conditions of fear its leaps extend to ten and twelve feet, while some authors claim that it can jump ten ditches twenty to twenty-five feet in width. Perpendicularly a hare can jump on to a five-foot wall, but seems to be nonplussed by one of about six feet. The stride of the rabbit is about two feet; when necessary it can make leaps of six or seven fet horizontally. About three feet is the highest that a rabbit can attain to even when helped by the asperities of a stone wall." Immaterial. Aunt Hepsy was in ecstasies over the young lady her nephew, like, was going to marry. "I never saw her till last week," she said, "but I fell in love with her at first sight myself. She's good, sweet, amiable and as pretty as a picture." "What's her name?" asked the listeners. "Marla." "Marla what?" Aunt Hepsy wrinkled her forehead, pursed up her lips, looked at the selling and gave it up. "I declare, I can't think of her other name." The general laugh that followed this confession nettled Aunt Hepsy. "What's the difference about her last name anyway?" she said explosively. "It's only temporary. She's going to change it!"—Youth's Companion The Verdict. "Did the jury find the prisoner guilty?" inquired a man concerning a burglar. "No, sir," responded the policeman. "They didn't find him at all. He got away." At least two-thirds of the married men you meet are henpecked, but they don't know it.

There arrived in London last evening an aged man named Mark All who has been wandering for the last six years. Mark All is an engineer by trade and he set out from Fleet street on Aug. 6, 1900, with the object of walking 60,000 miles in seven years. The idea of the enterprise was to disprove a theory, which All attributes to engineering employers, that after a man has reached 45 years of age he is useless for manual labor. Some gentlemen who were destruc of disproving this theory agreed to pay All £500 if he could walk 60,000 miles in seven years, earning his liv- ing at his trade, and that he shall not beg, sell photographs of himself or pictures post cards, make speeches or exhibit himself at music halls. All these conditions, he says, he has faith- fully observed. He has been all over the three kingdoms and has visited France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Italy and Germany, but failed to get into Russia. His record now is 58,006 miles. He proposes to take a week's rest in London, then walk to New Haven and cross to Dieppe, where he will resume his pedestrian exercises through France. Throughout his travels Mark all wears the union jack on his right arm—London Chronicle. Inviting.

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON NO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS FOR EVIL Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and humiliation into the world than all other diseases combined; there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders, wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame. So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of the suffering which is to follow. It comes in of ulcerated mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin, falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shattered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especially is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash. These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, however, the treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive action. S.S.S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poison.
